Steven Stwalley’s Demo Reel
Digital Artist | Animator | Illustrator | Cartoonist | Game Designer
I’ve been a professional digital artist working in the advertising industry for over 20 years. I’ve primarily made my living doing animation and motion graphics, but I also have done a lot of illustration, cartooning, design and video editing work. It is conceivable I may have built more banner advertisements than any other person alive… so, sorry about that. Many of the ad campaigns I have worked on have been seen by millions of people just trying to get to the content they actually want to see.
Clients I have done work for included Best Buy, Target, Post, Black & Decker, Phillips Distilling, Country Inns & Suites, Fifth Third Bank, Nike Bauer, Saucony, Discover Boating, Kraftmaid, Minnesota Lottery, Minnesota Wild, General Mills, Whole Foods, Kuhlman, The University of Minnesota, NSF, Belize, and many, many more.
I’m also a game designer. SQUIRMISH: The Card Game of Brawling Beasties is a beast-battling tabletop card game that I designed and illustrated, which is now also a videogame on Steam I’ve made in collaboration with programmer Jeff Faust at Faust Logic.
I’m a founding member of The International Cartoonist Conspiracy. My comics have been featured in numerous anthologies and gallery shows, as well as in the Hot Ink: Comic Art show at the Minnesota Museum of American Art. I am also a featured cartoonist in the book Superheroes, Strip Artists, and Talking Animals: Minnesota’s Contemporary Cartoonists by Britt Aamodt, published by the Minnesota Historical Society. I regularly post webcomics, I have created numerous comic books, and I’ve often collaborated with other artists to create comics anthologies and jam comics.
If you have an opportunity you think my skills might be a good fit for, I’d love to hear about it. You can email me at sstwalley(at)gmail.com.
